Route 40 in Troy is closed in both directions between Frear Park Road and Farrell Road because of downed trees and power lines, according to the state Department of Transportation. Elsewhere in Rensselaer County, trees are cleared from Route 66, also known as Miller Hill Road, and that road has reopened from Route 43 to old Route 66 in Sand Lake, according to DOT.
